Clueless is in the Top Ten?????
It’s been over twelve years. Once in a while I’ll see one of the other cats, sitting silhouetted in a sunlit window or in shadows on a chair, and I think it’s him. You never stop missing them.

KiwiKimi. EdStun. Shay41. All old friends. All show up together on the top ten list. DD was in it’s prime, and many wonderful writers sheltered in the virtual haven here. So many electrons – cast off to new atoms or disappeared entirely. The diaspora of friends and talent has spread across the webscape, but the…
Iâm outside, on the deck (10â X10â of floor planks and rails, sadly in need of attention). For âattentionâ read ârestorationâ. Today is my day off. There is no chance of me doing anything that needs doing beyond the already accomplished sweeping of the arbor vitae droppings and cleaning of the patio table and two…

I just finished making two dozen cupcakes (from a box mix) to take with me on my triumphant return to the workforce tomorrow. Baking is not my forte, but how wrong can you go with mix, one cup water, half a cup of oil and three eggs? The cupcakes came out really nice looking, and…
Dr. Ortho has cleared me for active duty. I can return to work Monday. Yippee.
I’m not ready for any retirement that requires I stay home all day because I can’t drive.
Today it will (just barely) cross 80ºF today. In my mind, rates marking today as the first official day of spring. Especially since weâve had very few 70ºF days, much less an 80ºF day. Were I ruler of the universe, things like the start of a season would not be fixed to a calendar date…
